3 Overview
3.1 About the Product
The RF A/B Protection Switch (RFSW) is designed to plug into the latest generation Advanced Intelligent Multi-services
Access platform - the AIMA3000.
Providing reliable radio signal stability, the RFSW is an RF-based switching device designed for automatic or manual
switching of radio signals. It maintains the RF output in the event of a loss or degraded signal of one of the two signals
connected to its inputs.
Engineered for high-isolation, the impedance-matched RF switch relay, is controlled by microcontroller-based logic circuits.
This intelligent microcontroller manages the switch based on the detection of RF input signal levels. In addition, the switch
can operate based on user-defined minimum and maximum RF threshold levels. The RFSW switching module provides
self-monitoring and communicates with the ASMM (AIMA3000 System Management Module) within the AIMA3000 chassis.
The switching action may be set to by automatic or manual operation. When in manual mode, the switch can be controlled
through the ASMM’s Web Interface, the AIMA hand-held controller, or through the NMSE. The module’s microcontroller
determines when to switch signals based on total RF power as commonly used in forward transmission, or based on pilot
tone detection of a single frequency as specified by the customer.
3.2 Product Key Features
■Plug-and-play AIMA3000 platform module
■Forward-path version (5 MHz to 1218 MHz) suits CENELEC and NTSC up to 158 channels (both analog and digital)
■Highly reliable, compact design
■Operates in AUTO or MANUAL mode
■Operator defined adjustable thresholds for both inputs with the maximum and minimum signal parameters
■Comprehensive remote monitoring
■Configurable alarm threshold levels
■Remote firmware upgrade and auto upload/download of configuration files through ASMM webinterface or
using the NMSE
■Bulk firmware updates through the NMSE
■FCC, CE and RCM(1) compliant
(1) See Declaration of Conformity for current status.
